Presenting on "Non-invasive brain stimulation to treat chronic pain and psychiatric disorders: targets, (shared) mechanisms and clinical outcome"

Daniel Ciampi de Andrade is associate professor and researcher at the Center of Neuroplasticity and Pain, Department of Health Science and technology, Faculty of Medicine, Aalborg University, Denmark. Daniel trained as a clinical neurologist in the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and in France (Université Paris-Saclay /Université Paris XII). Daniel had training with Didier Bouhassira, Nadine Attal and Jean-Pascal Lefaucheur during his stay in Paris, France, coming back to Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2009. He then was appointed coordinator of the Multidisciplinary Pain Center of the Neurology Department, in the University of Sao Paulo. This center was founded by his mentor Prof Manoel Jacobsen Teixeira in 1974 and one of the largest pain centers in Latin America. Daniel co-founded and was vice chair of the Medical Research Laboratory of “invasive neuroscience” from 2019 to 2021. 

In 2021 he moved to Aalborg and joined CNAP. His research has been focused on pain in neurological diseases and neuromodulation for pain relief. In particular he has performed research on how pain can influence cortical connectivity and how this information can be used to inform personalized treatment approaches. 

Daniel has been serving as vice-chair of EFIC´s Research Committee since 2024, section editor of the European Journal of Pain since 2016, and advisory Board of Pain Reports since 2018. He as published more than 180 peer-reviewed studies, along with pain books editing and several international book chapters. Daniel received a European Research Council grant that will allow him to continue research, paired by an amazing team of colleagues at CNAP, to further explore the effects of pain in the human brain.
